v Be it known that I, loner W'. Cmsnonaa, a subject of the King ot Great Britain, re siding at 'Wardlong in the Province of Alberta and Dominion of Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in lnkstands, of which the following is a speci-1 cation.

This invention relates to an improved inl dispensing arrangement.

The primary object of this invention is the provision of a novel ink container which embodies details whereby inlr may he dis pensed in facile manner for use.

' An important object of this invention is the provision o an improved closure and valve arrangement for ink receptacles and wells. i

@ther objects and advantages of this invention will be apparent during the course of the following detailed description.

lu the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification, and wherein similar reference characters designate correspending parts throughout the several views, i

Figure 1 is a. transverse cross sectlonal view showing the improved ink well, taken substantially on the line l-l of Figure 2.

Fig. 2 is a vertical cross sectional view, taken through the improved ink stand, showing the details thereof in position for dispensing a supply of ink.

Fig'. 3 is a fragmentary cross sectional View, showing the improved closure arrangement as used in connectiontherewith.

lin the drawing, wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown but the preferred embodiment of this invention, the letter A. generically indicates the improved ink stand, which incre specifically embodies the bottle or rece tacle B, closure and valve arrangements and base or well member D.

The receptacle B may be the ordinary ink bottle which includes the body portion 1() providing a chamber 11 in which a quantity ofink or other liquid 12 is adapted to be disposed. A neck 13, preferably externally screw threaded, may be included in the construction of the bott/le B, which provides a lll: into which a plug' portion 15 of the closure arrangement C is normally seated. An annular shoulder 16 is 'preferably provided at the iuncture ol the noch 'ity of accidental detachment of thegnut from the base ci the' surfaces respectively of the plug member 15,

to provide the oonstricted opening 20 prcf- 65 erably at the center o the passageway formed of the tapered portions 18 and 19.,

The closure device @C also includes a holt nieniber 25 which is provided with a head 26, an adjacent tapered portion 27, and a screw threaded shank 28, The head 26 ei;- tends annularly from the greatest cross di-b mension oi the tapered portion 27, and is adapted for cooperation upon the inside surface of the plug member 15, pered portion 27 cooperates in the tapered portion 19 of the plug opening; the screw threaded shank 28 beingadapted for extension outwardly of 'the outer surface of the plug 15 and Jfor receiving a nut member 3Q in adjustable mannen This nut member 3G includes a tapered or bnbular pro'ecting portion 3l facing the plug 15, and w ich is adapted for cooperation in the tapered open'- ing portion 18 of plug Y15 to provide a seal, whereby the-passageway throughA the plugA 5 maybe closed when the nut is drawn into tight engagement with the outer surface of the saine, so that the tapered portions 27 and 31 arerespectively disposed in snug engage- '.nent within the tapered port-ions 19 and 18 of the plug passageway. it is preferred that the nut 30 he provided' with an inwardly converging depression 32, which provides a pocket 33 at the extreme convergence of said depression within whichlthe Vend of the screw threaded shank 28 is oveiturned or peened, as at 34, to prevent any possibilthe bolt 25.

eierring to the base. or well member D, the saine includes the supporting iang'e portion 35 from the central portion of which the supporting neck 36 rises, and which is provided with -the screw threaded i071 opening 37 adapted to 'detacliaf'bly receive the neck i3 of the receptaclefor hottle B. This neck; portion 36 below the screw threads thereof providesv a ehainber 38 which hasV communication as by ports 39 and so that the tamember e0? wltliy epceeitel dispesef 'welle Ill and .57 eiiieefiveiy which a, open epped is illus'iueel iu Figure 2 ef the d1'ae eiesuie member C muy be as :i sleppef el' effi-l; 'lfm' the euliuui'y ink betble and :muy Sold as :i bei? lieiee" los? eeeesseij," 'use iu eeuueetieu with. eiland lli'ilizeil, in eoiuiee'sieii Wil-li lle base ei' Well member E', tbe nuty is lees eiefl ei' adjusted upon elle screw tliieacleel Siem 28 e@ hm', the. bell: member und uut 30 may eeej'ieiate le prei/ide e valve feit the f pei Liens 18 und 19 of the plug pas tbe uut 30 having been loesM lie belli 25, upon iuveiig uf v'e B and screw luiuding the salme neel; of the buse membei if), the .u'ejeetifui l5 which extends up fem die belt-Oui. ef the well l), will iliiiu the converging depression 2 of 30, se fallut llie tapered porion 2i' ef bell, 25 will be uusizied from the pee Sagewuy 1,9, uml when lie boil-le is entirelgr seated in i; le well iueuibei' D, lie passage-- Way i'zlueugli tbe plug l5 will be sufeiently eleeieil 0 peri 'l flow liquid l2 iiio the chamber 38 of 'lflle Well D, from whence the liquid oivs inte the wells (el and through @lie polls 39' and 10.
